Welcome to Gaia! ::

Drawing a circle in the ground with her finger Erionda cast her eyes about the forest. She had heard a noise not far off. Uassae and Lanzecki both focused on the same direction, leaving Erionda to conclude the noise had come from another dragon entering the area.

"You don't suppose they come so quickly because there is no other dragon in the area marking it their territory. Do you?" Erionda asked of both Lanzecki and Uassae. Neither dragon answered her question and the young hybrid clicked her jaw closed. Reaching out with her right hand to pull her weapon close to her body. She had not used her magic yet! Returning to the circle she was drawing in the ground, her head shot up at yet another noise. It was drawing closer but not at that quick of a pace. Huffing Erionda grabbed up a handful of the loos dirt with her left hand, the hilt of her sword tightly gripped in her right.

Pushing herself to her feet, Erionda smiled as she ran towards the dragons direction. Today she was going to test her skills with the power of the Aiskala clan today. She was going to see just how effective they would be against the Ysali dragons she had been having so much trouble against.

Slowing her pace as she neared the large green beast Erionda let the dry dirt in her hand drop out in a thin stream as if slowing time down. Erionda narrowed her mismatched eyes into slits, working on pulling the new power from within her. The last edges of the dirt frozen as they fell from the skin of her palm. The muscles in her arm reacted with more precision than they had in the previous battle. Erionda felt proud, even if her skills were useless against the Ysali she was still slowly improving her skill with her sword.

The dragon had noticed her coming, as if her running had been a thundering echo on the ground. Extending her free hand forward with a burst of energy, Rio released a freezing blast. Shocking the dragon into a still motion. Swinging her sword Erionda sliced into the dragons leg. Easily dodging the slowing motion of the Ysali. Smiling at her success Erionda swung the sword with one more clean swing. Shoving the sharp blade deep into the dragons jaw just as she had made for a previous kill.

Dust exploded around her and with a whoop of joy the hybrid bent down to pick up the Ysali orb she had gained. Ice seemed to be effective against the Ysali. Smiling to herself Erionda turned her head skyward, a warm breeze thawing what remained of the frozen pieces of leaves and grass the Ysali had stood on.

"Mom, Dad. I'll be just as wonderful as you someday. Just as strong too, just you wait. I can be great!"
